annanotbob's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Living in the city Shhh. I'm up early after falling asleep at about 8.30 last night and I think Mr Boxx is still asleep, so I'm being Very Quiet. Boxx has already gone to work, before I woke up, and left me the keys to her flat and the swimming pool. What a wonderful world this is, really. We met for the first time last night (OK, lunchtime, but it was late for me) and here I am let loose in her home. A beautiful home, by the way, really lovely. British architects could learn a thing or two about designing places that are civilised to live in as well as having some fucking concept or other when viewed from outside. It is a bit chilly here though - maybe because it's so early. I stumbled out to the balcony in my pyjamas for a first cigarette of the day, as the sun was coming up and had to go and put my jacket and uggs on. It is so beautiful here though. Mountains and trees and a hummingbird last night - fantastic. I'm still full of valium, to be honest. I took loads during the journey and I can still feel the effect - a bit groggy round the edges. I also realise that I never fully believed I'd make it here - right up till the day I left. I might go for a swim in a bit, though I'm not sure what the etiquette is - do I walk down to the pool in my costume or should I be more covered up? Don't want to scare folks with a vast expanse of orange (oh, yes, the spray tan) British flesh, but I don't have a robe of any kind. Grateful for: Friends; safe flights; being made so welcome; having a funny little Sid dog snuggle up to me - he's been relegated to second place since the baby; the internet which has made all this happen. Woo hoo Have a good day - see - a morning entry for once in my life, so no sweet dreams. xxx 4:55 p.m. - 02/04/2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
